TLDR
Overweight women have a higher incidence of menstrual dysfunction and anovulation, and are at a high risk for reproductive health, and weight loss has beneficial effects on the reproductive outcomes in patients.Abstract:
The prevalence of obesity and overweight are increasing and have become an epidemic worldwide. Obesity has detrimental influences on all systems, including reproductive health. The prevalence of obesity in infertile women is high, and it is well known that there is an association between obesity and infertility. The relationship between obesity and reproductive functions is still being explored. Overweight women have a higher incidence of menstrual dysfunction and anovulation. Overweight and obese women are at a high risk for reproductive health. The risk of subfecundity and infertility, conception rates, miscarriage rates, and pregnancy complications are increased in these women. They have poor reproductive outcomes in natural as well as assisted conception. These poor reproductive outcomes include assisted reproduction such as ovulation induction, in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), and ovum donation cycles. Weight loss has beneficial effects on the reproductive outcomes in these patients.read more

TL;DR: The predictive value of the baseline levels of leptin and estradiol, the number of antral follicles and insulin resistance in relation to the achievement of ovulation after the reduction of body weight in patients with anovulation caused by excess body weight and obesity has been established.

Polycystic ovary syndrome: Causes, symptoms, pathophysiology, and remedies
TL;DR: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic disorder during the reproductive age of women, characterized by high androgen levels, irregular menses, and small cysts in the ovaries as mentioned in this paper .

Relation of High Maternal Body Mass Index to Perinatal and Maternal Outcome
Khushboo Patel,Smita Baheti +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between maternal height and weight with pregnancy complications have been extensively explored, but in recent times, BMI is widely accepted as a better measure of over or underweight.
Journal Article
Effect of exercise, body mass index, and waist to hip ratio on female fertility
TL;DR: It seems that exercise, regardless of changes in BMI and WHR, can increase fertility, based on the findings.

TL;DR: This manuscript summarizes important findings from the last obstetrical anesthesia symposium held in 2016, which focuses on relevant causes for maternal morbidity and mortality as well as preventive measures, pregnancy in obese patients and sepsis in obstetric anaesthesia.

TL;DR: It is shown that adipocytes secrete a unique signalling molecule, which is named resistin (for resistance to insulin), which circulating resistin levels are decreased by the anti-diabetic drug rosiglitazone, and increased in diet-induced and genetic forms of obesity.

Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors in insulin resistance, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome
TL;DR: The pathophysiology of adiponectin and adiponECTin receptors in insulin resistance, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome is described and potential versatile therapeutic targets to combat obesity-linked diseases characterized by insulin resistance are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiponectin and Adiponectin Receptors
TL;DR: It is shown that AdipoR1 and AdIPoR2 serve as receptors for globular and full-length adiponectin and mediate increased AMP-activated protein kinase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha ligand activities, and glucose uptake and fatty-acid oxidation by adiponECTin.

TL;DR: A newly identified adipocytokine, visfatin, that is highly enriched in the visceral fat of both humans and mice and whose expression level in plasma increases during the development of obesity is isolated.

Weight loss in obese infertile women results in improvement in reproductive outcome for all forms of fertility treatment.
TL;DR: Weight loss should be considered as a first option for women who are infertile and overweight, and the cost savings of the programme were considerable.
